The Book by
Annee Olofsson
From the darkness of an entirely black book, from the chaos of free associations – where Annee Olofsson finds inspiration for her artwork – images are placed without clear meaning or chronological sequence. Photographs, stills from video, annotations by the artist, preparatory drawings, and text handwritten by the curator of the “Book by”- who relives the intimate experience of the artist in first person – , follow a sequence demonstrating the transformation of how an idea pops in the mind of the artist and becomes an artwork. From the title, a split-personality is clear, the division between a family heritage and a more private identity: this is the only hidden law that guides the choice of all the book’s material. Beginning and ending with similar, yet inverted photographs, the book has at the center a printed lock of hair that marks the starting point of the two parallel stories.
